I Listen To NADDPOD And Dungeons And Daddies Regularly, And I Couldn't Recommend Them More! I Have Had

I listen to NADDPOD and Dungeons and Daddies regularly, and I couldn't recommend them more! I have had to pull over the car I was driving because I was crying so hard listening to NADDPOD, but I've also had to remove myself from a small shop because I was laughing so hard. I haven't cried cried yet while listening to Dungeons and Daddies, but I'm also not 100% caught up, and I have cried because I was laughing so hard.

Also, if you like what's happening on Dimension 20: Escape From The Bloodkeep, check out the rest of Dimension 20's games! Check out Fantasy High. Same DM all the way around (who is also a guest on NADDPOD at one point), I've cried cried and cried laughing. Great all around. (Also two of the players on Fantasy High are a player and the DM from NADDPOD, and several of the other players are also guests on NADDPOD).

So Critical Role is on hiatus this week, and they’ll be taking another break over Christmas and New Years. Are you bored and needing another tabletop show to scratch that itch? Yes, there’s TAZ too, but they’re biweekly so you’ll still have off weeks. And everybody knows about Critical Role and TAZ. Don’t you want to try some of the lesser known but still very very good roleplaying shows?

I hope the answer is yes, because I’m gonna rec some of my favorites! Please feel free to reblog and add your favorites too! There are so many very good D&D/tabletop podcasts/web shows that get overlooked and a Critical Role hiatus is a great time to shine some light on those gems! And without further ado:

Not Another D&D Podcast: the campaign after the campaign! NADDPOD is set in a world that has already been saved by a team of legendary heroes...except maybe the legendary heroes didn’t do such a great job saving the world as we thought and fucked up quite a lot and left mountains of problems to be solved in their wake! NADDPOD has a great story and drama and heartbreak, but mostly it’s wildly hilarious. The Band of Boobs consists of Hardwon Surefoot (a human fighter raised by dwarves who left home for adventure and is used to be being a big fish in a small pond,) Beverly Toegold V (halfling paladin boyscout and Very Good Boy who’s trying to earn his merit badges) and Moonshine Cybin (wood elf druid, hillbilly and chaotic bi who flirts with every woman she meets. She has a possum companion named Pawpaw. I love Moonshine.)

Dungeons & Daddies (Not A BDSM Podcast): Four dads from our world gets transported into the Forgetten Realms on a quest to rescue their sons! This podcast is extremely goofy and if you thought the McElroys played Calvinball, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Dad jokes cause psychic damage, and there are a LOT of dad jokes. It’s 90% hilarious shenanigans and then 10% feelings (I cried about a character called Lizardboy Scales McStuffins.) The dads are Darryl Wilson (barbarian and stay at home coach dad, big softy on the inside,) Henry Oak(druid and mega crunchy hippie dad,) Glenn Close (bard and rock’n roll pot-smoking dad,) and Ron Stampler (rogue, emotionally detached stepfather and honestly probably a cryptid. What the fuck is Ron? We just don’t know.)

Dimension 20: Escape from the Bloodkeep: this is a fairly short webshow, just 6 episodes long, and I admit that I only checked it out because Matt Mercer and Erika Ishii were on it, but I absolutely loved it! Escape from the Bloodkeep follows the subordinates of the Lord of Shadows right before the great final battle of good vs evil that they were totally going to win...except a couple halflings threw some magic jewelry in a volcano and fucked everything up. It’s wildly funny as a LOTR parody but the evil villains end up becoming a found family at the end, because of course they do. The vile villains include Efink Murderdeath (elven grave cleric who turned evil to rebel against her dad,) Sokhbarr the Boglord (half orc ranger and basically the Steve Irwin of monsters,) Kraz-Thun AKA Leiland (anxious insecure Ringwraith warlock,) Lilith (queen of the spiders and wine mom to thousands of tiny spider kids,) Maggie (tiefling barbarian and daughter to the Lord of Evil) and Marcus St Vincent (human pirate who sided with evil to get rich.) Dimension 20 has some other shows like Fantasy High and The Unsleeping City that I’ve heard good things about, but I haven’t gotten around to watching them yet!

Rusty Quill Gaming: I’ve only just started this one but I love it already! It’s set in an alternate 19th century London that has magic and all the usual fantasy trappings, but also Lord Byron is there? It’s a lot of fun so far but I’ve been told that there’s a lot of pain coming and I’m very scared. The squad (at least where I’m at) includes: Sasha (socially awkward human rogue,) Hamid (halfling sorcerer and Fancy Lad,) Zolf (dwarf cleric, has a peg leg and possibly the owner of the team’s only brain cell) and Bertie (human fighter and loud, flashy buffoon.)

And it’s not a tabletop/roleplay podcast but I only got into Rusty Quill Gaming because of one of Rusty Quill’s other podcasts, The Magnus Archives, which I can’t recommend highly enough. It’s a horror series that follows the new head archivist at the Magnus Institute, which is an organization that documents all manner of supernatural and spooky shit. What happened to the last head archivist? It’s a ~mystery~. At first it seems like a bunch of stand alone stories but soon you start to realize that there are all these threads connecting everything and I can’t really say much more because a big part of the fun is seeing how the overarching story comes together. Also lots of LGBT+ characters. The main character is canon ace. Please listen to The Magnus Archives.

Hope you’ll give some of these a try, and again, feel free to add your own! Give some other shows some love!

Not gonna lie crew, I feel like making some dnd-esque characters and finding people to rp with.

However, it's been well over 5 years since my last rp and I have 0 clue how to start.

So, I'll just hover, I suppose.

Vyxander, my tiefling/earth genasi sorcerer [he/him]! Who happens to be Yxala and Urion’s rowdier kiddo~

He’s the result of a very fiery-flavoured tiefling mixed with an earth genasi: I wanted to reflect that with the rockier fire spikes all around, as well as the cracks all around the body. It’s also fun finding ways to mix the facial features of characters! Still, he’s quite different to Siegmund, his sibling, who is based around titanium quartz

As usual, reblogs are super appreciated!

Oath of the Ancients Paladin portrait commission! raw sapphire Earth Genasi ♥A♥

I’m so normal about dnd. It’s so normal to have a full dissection of my character’s psychology and motivations ready to go at any moment

✨RPG Astrology✨

Here it is, finally!! I’m super proud of how this project came out now that all 12 designs are finished and printed! This is the RPG Astrology series, which I’ve been working on for the past few months. They are 4x6 gold foil embossed prints that we’ll be selling during ECCC at the @kamira-studios table (right now, postponed until August). But they are also currently available on the Kamira Studios Storenvy (link in bio). This set is a series of illustrations featuring the 12 main RPG classes, paired up with one of the 12 Astrological signs. Each design features a weapon illustration, with a personality description and flower based on astrological sign. 

Reblog with which one you are. Do you feel the description suits you? If not, which one are you most drawn to?  ✨
